United States of America: Trade- and investment-related provisions in the 2016 omnibus appropriations bill

On December 18, 2015 President Obama signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 (formerly H.R.2029 and now Public Law No. 114-113). This is a very wide-ranging measure that authorizes programs in many different areas of public policy. One of the more significant trade-related provisions in this bill is the repeal of long-standing restrictions on the exportation of oil. The law also repeals a controversial provision requiring the country-of-origin labeling of meat.
Below are summarized those provisions that are related to trade, apart from those that might be classified as sanctions related to foreign policy, phytosanitary measures, or other matters outside the scope of GTA reporting.
Note that omnibus measures of this sort do not always follow the usual practice of sequentially numbering their various titles and sections. Some of the items summarized below have no section numbers at all.
